Fairy Tales AU ~ Blackinnon ~ Sleeping Beauty

i love this bit sm in deathly hallows bc they were all so sad and yk scared that seeing hermione being "back to normal" in a way made them both smile at the normality.

ps. a little before this harry points out that hermione was so focused in what was happening in the moment and debating with ron that she forgot she was mad at ron and harry also was relieved by that lmao by boi loves them both sm i wanna cry.

this book has so many tiny moments like this that i love sm.

Marlene: Can you keep a secret?

Sirius: Yeah, we can keep a secret.

Marlene: What?

Sirius: Yeah, me and James are like a vault. No one else will know.

Marlene: No, I want you to know. I don't want James to know.

Sirius: If you don't want James to know, then why are you telling me?

what kind of music do you think Sirius listened to? favorite songs/bands? I know most of the fandom associates him to punk rock (or Bowie and Queen), but he grew up in the seventies, that was such a rich decade music wise.

also I’ve been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd lately and the song “Brain Damage” makes me think about him and the effects the whole Peter betrayal and Azkaban had in his mind.

Hello anon.

So I have some controversial takes about Sirius's music tastes. I don't think he was achingly cool in his tastes. He spent most of his time either in a really traditional home or a remote Scottish castle. Also the only time we see him being musical in canon, he's singing his own dorky remix of a traditional Christmas carol.

So I can imagine his early tastes being Opera (which suits his personality so much) and classical. I have a HC that wizarding classical music is stuck in the 1600s so young Sirius may well have jammed to something like this:

Note: one of my other hyperfixations is Anne Boleyn

I also don't think he arrived at Hogwarts all 'woke' about muggleborns. I think he had to unlearn some prejudices (we get glimpses of his upbringing when he calls Peter 'Filth'.).

But as he gets older I can see him starting to explore his musical tastes (I still HC him as a massive opera fan).

I see him as someone who likes quite angsty music (Joni Mitchell) and I also don't think his tastes would purely be contemporary music (personally I love stuff from all decades).

I like the subversion of Sirius with an achingly cool taste in music listening and loving something like this (especially the Misbehaving thing)

I also think Delta Blues fits his personality and this is the song that reminds me the most of him:

We fight every night for something, but when the sunsets we’re both the same. Half in the shadows. Half burned in flames.

STRANGER THINGS’ JONATHAN AND NANCY as BAZ LUHRMANN’S ROMEO + JULIET (1996)

a beautifully strange reinterpretation of luhrmann’s modern adaptation centers on two lovesick teenagers who escape the horrors of verona, indiana through death and death alone…

your parents don't get to decide for you what does and does not count as private information about you that they are allowed access to.

Every time I see a post saying Anakin and Padmé would be neglectful and parents if they were to raise Luke and Leia in an AU where Anakin never turned, I lose a bit more hope for the Star Wars fandom…
